Look at her touring schedule. I would say, and this is obviously just speculation, that there was a decision made. You can see it in her face. The crowd hears one thing and the inner ear monitor has a specified mix of the way you need [to sing along with] it.
I think it was a communication error. She may have thought it was equipment failure. But there were no glances at the monitor engineer. There will always be a bunch in case something like this [when an ear bud fails] happens.
Most people would probably look over at the monitor engineer and say to jack up the monitor wedges, which are on the floor, and try and get through it. She just totally lost her place in the song. I know it can happen.

In the same September interview with Stephen Colbert, Carey admitted that she hated the job and could never work the cash register properly. Failing remedial math, despite the fact her father was an aeronautical engineer, didn't help her efforts either.
Carey went on to explain one more hilarious reason why she and waitressing didn't mix: "No one could remember my name so I didn't want to always have to explain oh, 'Mariah, this is how you pronounce it,' because back then nobody had that name.
So I would oftentimes make up a name, I would say my name was like Debby or something more common and then I'd forget what name I told that table so they'd be like 'Debby? After working odd jobs, Carey finally got her first break and began singing backup vocals for Brenda K. Starr in the late s, according to New Jersey Eventually, Starr handed Carey's demo to then-chairman and CEO of Sony Music Entertainment Tommy Mottola who would become Carey's first husband and the young singer's fate as a pop superstar was sealed.
But what does that actually mean? Basically, Carey can reach five of the eight octaves in the vocal range this chart is a great visualization of the feat. She sings her lowest note, an F 2, on the Jermaine Dupri song "Sweetheart" and her highest note, a G 7, on her bop "Emotions. In , Classic FM determined that she had the greatest range of all iconic singers. Ever since receiving a copy of Norman Mailer's biography of the actress for Christmas as a child, Carey has been obsessed with the actress, she told The Guardian in She also wrote in her new memoir that in place of her abusive family, her only childhood friend was the poster of Monroe hanging on her bedroom wall.
The organization provides thousands of children in New York City with the opportunity to attend sleepaway camps throughout New York's mid-Hudson Valley, according to its website. Her voice is believed to span five octaves and many of her hits — We Belong Together, Hero, Without You — are covered by X Factor contestants desperate to show off their vocal range. But it is as an actress that Carey has recently been gaining considerable critical acclaim.
Her role as a downtrodden social worker in the forthcoming Precious , directed by Lee Daniels, who produced the Oscar-winning Monster's Ball in , has been hailed as "pitch-perfect" by Variety magazine and earned her a Breakthrough Performance Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. The film, which opens here on 29 January, is based on the novel Push by the American street poet Sapphire and has an almost entirely black cast, as well as being backed by some of the most powerful names in entertainment, including Oprah Winfrey, the executive producer, and Lenny Kravitz, who plays a maternity nurse.
Carey was not, it must be said, an obvious choice for the role. For years her acting career had struggled to emerge from the monstrous shadow cast by Glitter , the semi-autobiographical movie that was panned by critics, many of whom called it the worst movie of all time. The Village Voice reviewer wrote that when Carey tried to show emotion "she looks as if she's lost her car keys". Daniels, who had previously worked with Carey on the film Tennessee , says that when he told the crew he had cast her "they looked at me like I was nuts… but I know Mariah's work — I think she's a formidable actor.
The irony here is that the Glitter experience hurt her more than anyone because she's such a perfectionist. I just find her work ethic extraordinary. When she came on set, she kicked right into gear because she didn't have a posse; she was part of it. Mariah didn't even have a dressing room.
She had a room that was the size of a public bathroom to change in. In Precious Carey plays Miss Weiss, a world-weary welfare officer who gradually unpicks the heroine's horrific life story. Helen Mirren was originally slated for the part but had to pull out at the last minute because of scheduling commitments. Daniels called Carey up two days before they were due to start shooting. Luckily she had already read the book twice and threw herself into the preparation.
The end result is a revelation. Carey's performance is heartfelt and totally stripped back — in many ways the very antithesis of her puffed-up public persona, with its emphasis on outward appearance and conspicuous consumption. Daniels insisted that Carey wear no make-up and refused to allow her notorious entourage on set. Carey had to readjust her voice, her posture and her walk. I said: 'This woman is not going to work if you're walking like Princess Tippy Toes.
Carey is gracious enough to laugh about it now. He made me have like almost a unibrow. The hair — I mean, the hair! I was there. For someone so accustomed to being primped and preened for videos and television appearances, I wonder whether the experience of playing Miss Weiss was liberating.
She approaches the question indirectly.
